Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread

My big gravid (soon to be) momma..... She's pregnant out of season, but that's OK an unexpected winter litter will be cool with me. her girth has almost doubled in recent weeks!! when she pops, it's going to be a big litter.

She's het Albino, and the father IS albino, so it will be interesting to see the outcome.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread

Sorry to derail the thread.....Hey Wayne, got a question for you. I was just out walking my dog, and found a large garter real close to the road sunning itself on the trail. I picked it up and moved it a little farther down the path, away from the road. It didn't musk me, but attempted to tag me a few times. My question, or questions are. It was about 16" - 18" long and between nickel and quarter size around at it's largest. Would you guess it to be female? And #2, we had a pretty hard frost here last night, and the temp. today is right around 56 degrees. When exactly do they begin to hibernate?

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread

The snake was undoubtedly very close to the den site.

They go underground at night to keep from freezing.

And yes that would accurately describe a female.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread

Thanks Wayne. I'm sure she was close to her den, but she was closer to the road. And as slow as she was moving, she would have been road kill for sure. I moved her away, but not too far. I'd have brought her home, but #1 I don't have a setup for her, and #2 She may have been the mama for all the garters out there for all I know....

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread

In an attempt to make a snow Eastern (Thamnophis Sirtalis Sirtalis) a melanistic was bred to an albino.

This little guy is strange, he's making melanin, but in weird ratios, I wonder if the blotches qualify as piebald??

Anyways, he's the runt of the litter, He is almost 3 now and still a small guy.

The few of those around are called "dirty snows"

I want to mate him to my cherry red flame and make some flaming snows.


The pure white ones I have are Thamnophis Radix a midwestern species. No one has really bred a clean white snow eastern but there's always hope.

He's a pain in the butt... lucky for him he's cute.

Wanna get tagged? reach in without food to appease the bite god, and he will draw blood.

Have a snack, He's as friendly as can be..as long as you offer bribes.
